Watford striker and Birmingham City fan Troy Deeney has revealed how he longs to score against Aston Villa in front of the famous Holte End.

The Chelmsley Wood-born goal-getter will line up against the claret and blues in the Villa Park clash with the Hornets on November 28.

And when asked which stadium he would most like to score at this season, he replied“Villa Park. It is a wonderful stadium, (the club) probably has the biggest fanbase in the Midlands and my granddad was a die-hard Villa fan, so it will be nice for that moment.

“To do it in front of the Holte End, with 1,000s swearing at me will be lovely!”

Deeney had a trial at Villa when he was 15 but he didn’t make the grade.

He first got noticed playing for Chelmsley Town and when he moved to Walsall his goals earned him a big-money move to Watford.

The club captain bagged goals consistently in the Championship and has notched twice in his last three games.

Villa, who haven’t won at home in the Premier League this season, will be desperate to earn a much-needed three points when they take on Deeney’s side the weekend after next.

But the 27-year-old will have other ideas as he looks to fire in the goals that continue to push Watford further away from relegation trouble.

Last season Deeney was often seen at Villa Park as he attended games with his friends who follow the club.
